US DOJ Gaslights in Reply To Brad's Litigated FOIA Appeal For 500 Page Russia-Gate File Saying The File Is Not About Russia-Gate After FBI Told Brad File Is All About Russia-Gate
This is exactly what happened: After Senator Van Hollen's Office contacted the FBI to release my file, the FBI said they would not be able to release it until 2028 and the FBI asked if I was willing to narrow the scope to facilitate the release. I promptly replied that they could just release any and all documents related to Russia-Gate and not anything else. The FBI responded saying the number of pages and timeline for release remain unchanged after I narrowed the scope to Russia-Gate. How is that not confirming the subject matter of the file (see US DOJ reply to my FAC statements 42 & 43, Exhibit X)? I feel I am living through my own mini version of the Epstein files.... Who is being shielded here from a backyard conversation I had with Paul Cronin in the summer of 2016?
